I believe my gray water tank is missing in action. Looks like it goes behind a panel on the starboard side where the lower "state room(?)" is. Can someone verify this? We hooked the water up to her for the first time this weekend and all the sink water ran into spot where the forward bilge pump is....


I looked everywhere I could think of, and don't seem to find it anywhere else.

HELP! !

If she's the same as my 95, you'll find an access hole just forward of the aft cabin in the floor. In there will be a sump system. Hope that helps.

Not all boats have a gray water tank, mostly lake boat do.

On most boats the water from the sinks and shower run to the shower sump. There a float switch triggers a pump to pump the gray water overboard. If you have the optional gray water tank, this water is pumped to this tank. My gray water tank is in the lower "state room" what we call the aft cabin. It's under the starboard seat cushion. Obviously your boat is a different model.

Do you have two waste pumpouts on deck? I have one for the toilet (black) water tank and one for the gray water tank. If you have two pumpouts, you should be able to get an idea where the tanks are by following the hoses.

I have a 2006 and the gray water tank is in behind the galley sink down in the cabin. If you remove the cover for the top step as you enter the cabin you will see the tank. Water from the shower, head sink etc. gets sent to the sump pump (next to the forward bilge pump) and then pumped over to the gray water tank.

Hope this helps
